Gallaria MacBook Pro 17" Skin

The unibody aluminum 17" MacBook Pro was first released in January 2009 (compatible with latest Macbook Pro 17"). The keyboard is backlit, the entire trackpad acts as a button and the model has a black wireless window (plastic piece on back edge of laptop).

Why not a case?

Cases are available for other electronics but it is important never to enclose a 17-inch Apple MacBook Pro in a case.

The unibody construction of the MacBook acts as a heat sink and helps to dissipate heat during operation. If the 17-inch Apple MacBook Pro is enclosed in a case, the device will not be able to "breath" as well, resulting in higher operating temperatures that can cause reduced performance and shorten electronics lifespan.

We recommend using a Skin for styling and scratch protection - when you need to transport the 17-inch Apple MacBook Pro, put it in a padded sleeve or bag.

Matte vs Gloss

The Matte finish is a non-glossy, satin-type finish that give Skins an arty look and feel (art pieces, professional photos, canvases are usually matte). It is fingerprint and smudge resistant, and looks gorgeous with most designs.

The Gloss finish is a shiny finish that gives Skins an expensive, classy and sophisticated look (like a really shiny car). Designs look more vibrant with a gloss finish.
